MEDFORD, Ore. — A Jackson County Jail inmate is on life support right now, awaiting surgery for organ harvesting.

The 19-year-old inmate was in police custody for robbery and had recently wrapped up a different case where his charges had been reduced to failure to register as a sex offender. The sheriff says he was found in his jail cell after committing suicide.

“He was brain dead last night at 10:27 p.m. His body is still being supported by life support until they can harvest the organs,” explained Capt. Monty Holloway, with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
